The headline is misleading. Alumina is an oxide of aluminum not a metal. Where do journalists get their science training, public school?
Are you suggesting that journalists should have sufficient grasp of science (or indeed of the English language) to realise that there is a difference between alumina and aluminium (that's aluminum for you chaps over the Atlantic)? If we were to have partially educated journalists goodness only knows what changes would be wrought in the media.
